Illegal Formation: Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson had the Razorbacks off to a great start on the game’s first drive, but a 39-yard pass to Cobi Hamilton was nullified because of an illegal formation penalty. The pass would have put Arkansas at the South Carolina 22, but the Razorbacks were instead forced to punt.

Connor Shaw: Coming off an ankle injury two weeks earlier, the South Carolina quarterback looked sharp on the game’s opening possession. He passed for 78 yards on the drive, capped by a 29-yard touchdown pass to Jerell Adams.

Rush Defense: A week after holding Tulsa to well below its season average on the ground, Arkansas held South Carolina to 7 yards on six carries in the first quarter.
